I wonder if the cost of this research is greater than the cost for lobbyists to legalize medical marijuana.

  The problem with medical marijuana is that it doesn't relieve severe pain and it gets you stoned which not everybody wants.

    Not to mention that smoking a plant isn't an efficient or specific drug delivery vehicle.

      Patients often use liquid tinctures.

      How is that actually a problem?

    High CBD variants relieve pain without psychoactive effects. THC is not the only cannabinoid.

      Not true. I've used high CBD strains lab tested from Washington and they still caused minor paranoia. And the level mecessary for the same pain relief as tramadol, tapentadol, or morphine sulfate, makes a person dumb as a brick and unable to do what they originally wanted to. Pipedreams are nice. Marijuana is not a supplement to opiates except in corner cases. Really depends on the person and level of pain. I have chronic pain and marijuana was not conducive for a productive lifestyle while opiates are.

  Don't sell either effort short, do both.
